Project Manager-Based in Milton Keynes

The PM will be responsible for initiatives that drive revenue growth in the business. An example of an initiative is launching a new membership package for a new customer

Factfinding and collecting input from key stakeholders ('who are these new customers and what do they need?')

Defining the new proposition ('what value can we provide them? What should we charge them?')

Getting buy-in from stakeholders on the design, as well as other teams responsible for the delivery

Organising and leading a cross-functional team across, such as sales, marketing, product development, etc. to deliver the new proposition ('who needs to do what by when to achieve the outcome we want?')

Reviewing the performance of this proposition ('did we manage to sell this to the target new customers?')

Continuously improving on the proposition over time ('how can we make it better? Can we generate more revenue from it?')

The PM will need to have experience in a commercial environment, as they will need to make frequent revenue decisions. Understanding the revenue impact of those decisions will be key.

Strong interpersonal skills are also required, as our culture is rather non-hierarchical. The PM will need to get buy-in from various people in the business to be successful in their initiatives (e.g., if sales team is not bought into the new proposition, they won't be able to sell it)

Comfort in working with data is also strongly preferred. While we do have analysts on the team, as a pricing team we work frequently with data, and that means the PM will need to be comfortable with navigating large data sets and be numerate. Candidates with a previous analytical background or numerical degree would have a strong advantage.

I'm looking for someone with project management certification, though I'm also happy with extensive experience if he/she checks all the other boxes.

Superior organisational skills, including attention to detail and ability to work independently

Ability to think big and small/long and short term

Experience with understanding complex data, Excel skills preferred

Sense of ownership and responsibility for the work you and the team deliver

Passionate and determined
